Headless Linux Server?

Will there be a headless Linux server available? Or if not headless, a gui framework compatible with linux? I offered to provide John with 10 VPS's and also have some Dedicated Server's as well (8 and 16 core) in my server farm. But i don't normally carry windows licensed servers. Will i have to get one to run an Alpha Eco server? :o

Server should run fine on linux under mono, it just hasn't been tested really much at all on that front yet (I used to work for Microsoft so haven't dabbled with linux much). UI wise, we aren't doing anything fancy and the end target is to be able to run without a UI at all if need be. So it is the goal, I just don't think we can guarantee it will be available in that form with the initial alpha release.

@MajorCyto, I have a basic Windows Server 2012 licence laying around if I can find it I can let you borrow it although it is only for dual processor systems so running on wine may be the best solution for a more robust solution. I could also just use the windows installation on one of my servers which I can leverage as well.

Oo, good to know @Metachonism i was going to ask about Mono/Wine.. i have ran things through that way before. All though some times it requires something specific and won't run proper. I can provide you a Linux VPS to test on if you like meta, or i can test it. 8D

Worst case scenario i can just add a windows server to my farm for a short while i guess. I just prefer to work on Linux servers so fingers crossed that Wine/Mono will play nicely.

@eat_those_lemons : Thank you for the offer, but i can add a Windows server in my farm temporarily for the time being if Wine does not work. But that was really nice of you to offer. :D

Currently I use windows Azure to host my server but on Ubuntu 15.04 (not a fan of powershell).
I will be interested to test the build server (I can set up a windows server very quickly but I'm not very experience in managing windows server)
